The next morning, Ye Cheng slept until he woke up naturally.

Since he started preparing for the national examination, he has not slept for more than eight hours a day for a long time.

The moment he opened his eyes, all the muscles in his body seemed to have been broken up and reorganized, sore and weak.

‌This feeling, inexplicably like overindulgence...

He covered his head, which was sore from being drunk, and reluctantly climbed out of the unfamiliar big bed.

The dark gray silk sheets rubbed against the bare legs.

He looked under the quilt and saw that he was only wearing a large T-shirt.

Ye Cheng is different from Lu Xiao. He drinks too much and rarely loses consciousness, and he can still remember some details very clearly.

For example, he calls Meng Li "mother-in-law" one after another;

For example, he scolded Meng Li in front of Lu Xiao's ears;

For example, before going to bed, he thought the floor heater in the room was too hot and refused Lu Xiao's offer to wear pants for him.

Ye Cheng took deep breaths several times and patted his cheeks expressionlessly.

It doesn't matter, as long as you don't feel embarrassed, he is the one who is embarrassed.

Haha, isn’t it just drunk? Who hasn’t been drunk a few times?

He spent 20 minutes doing enough mental preparation, and was about to get out of bed and wash up, when Lu Xiao opened the door and came in.

"Get up? I asked you if you fainted." A malicious voice sounded.

Ye Cheng looked up.

Lu Xiao wore a black low-necked sweater, which thinly held up her visible shoulder line and exposed half of her collarbone. Loose trousers were piled at her feet.

He put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the door, lazily looking at Ye Cheng.

Even if you don't take care of it very much, it's enough to make you handsome and refreshing, and enlightening.

However, the dark circles under his eyes showed that the owner did not seem to be getting much rest.

Ye Cheng slowly slid down from the bed, pretending as if nothing happened, and said as if nothing had happened: "You got up early."

Lu Xiao smiled nonchalantly, raised his index finger and shook it: "No, it's not that I got up early, it's that I didn't sleep at all."

"Ah? Are you insomniac?" Ye Cheng was confused.

Lu Xiao smiled, gritted her teeth, and said, "Ye Cheng, do you know how bad your sleeping posture is?"

"Kicked me off the bed three times, put his feet in my face five times, talked in my sleep, drooled, and called me a shameless bastard."

When he talked about these things, he was so angry that his nose was flaring. It was obvious that these things were not fabricated.

Ye Cheng was dumbfounded and immediately grabbed what he said and retorted: "How is it possible that your bed is so big that I can kick you off?"

The king-size bed in the bedroom is really big, and several adults can roll over on it without falling.

Lu Xiao was even more angry: "You kept pressing against me, forcing me into a corner and then kicked me out of bed. Ha, I doubt you were awake at all? You just wanted to kick me, right?"

Ye Cheng guiltily avoided his glare, "I don't know what you are talking about."

In the name of washing up, he fled and locked himself in the bathroom, locking Lu Xiao out with a bang.

The only thing that made Ye Cheng happy was that when he went downstairs to eat, Meng Li was already at the door.

He didn't want to face her yet, otherwise he would rather be hungry all day than take even half a step toward the door.

Sister-in-law Wang once again offered her signature crab roe dumplings and warmly welcomed him to have breakfast and lunch.

Under Lu Xiao's glare, he couldn't bear the taste and ate all the xiaolongbao.

After eating, Ye Cheng took a short tour of an unfamiliar house.

He had never known that Lu Xiao lived in the area of ​​‌ before.

The only thing in my mind is the Lu family's old house, which is majestic and majestic inside, but always gives off a gloomy atmosphere in the dead of night.

When he failed to control Lu Xiao, he forced his opponent to go bankrupt and almost suffered retaliation later on.

The old man punished the two of them by kneeling in the ancestral hall for a whole night and made them face the wall and reflect on their mistakes.

Outside the ancestral hall is a corridor, hanging antique lanterns, and there is a light rain outside.

Lu Xiao had no intention of facing the wall, so he took advantage of the darkness inside to push him into the corner and let him help him with his hands.

Originally, Ye Cheng was not allowed to kneel with ‌, but ‌‌ made Lu Xiao feel distressed, and the old man had to punish him to kneel together.

He was so drunk last night that he was confused and went back to his old house for a time.

After visiting his home, Lu Xiao dragged Ye Cheng to give him extra lessons.

Due to yesterday's wanton behavior, Ye Cheng could only follow his request.

Lu Xiao's college entrance examination textbook was finally torn and tattered, and the pages were filled with copied notes from him.

Ye Cheng ate the cakes made by Mrs. Wang for him, and sat on the table to read the "Optimization 28 Sets" he had made.

"The wrong question is too outrageous." He pointed.

Lu Xiao felt unbalanced when she saw him eating snacks with his legs crossed, while she had to scratch her head and listen to his lectures.

It was Ye Cheng who was compensating him, how come it was the other way around?

"I want to eat too." He protested dissatisfied.

Ye Cheng took away all the snacks and said in a non-negotiable tone: "I'll give it to you after I finish it."

"Hey, this is my family." Lu Xiao was bullied by him, but he didn't feel too angry.

"But Sister-in-law Wang made it for me." Ye Cheng was not afraid of him, "You eat it every day, and you still have to steal it from me."

Lu Xiao said casually: "How can I eat it every day? She just came back."

Ye Cheng asked ‌: "Don't she live in ‌?"

There is a special nanny's room on the first floor, and it seems that Mrs. Wang is quite familiar with him, not like a part-time worker or a temporary aunt.

Lu Xiao was silent for a moment, looking like he didn't want to answer the question.

Ye Cheng didn't ask any more questions. As if he remembered something, he asked: "Yes, will it be inconvenient if I move here during the winter vacation? Your mother has already come back."

Although he was dizzy yesterday, he still remembered that there was a faint noise downstairs.

"It doesn't matter." Lu Xiao said nonchalantly, "My mother goes to California to see my dad every winter. I don't know when I will go today. I should be the only two at home."

Ye Cheng probed: "How is the relationship between your parents? Why doesn't your father stay here?"

Lu Xiao sneered: "Relationship? Huh, it's not a divorce yet. He is in an arranged marriage. After giving birth to me, he has been doing his own thing, and he doesn't have any sense of family."

He said it so directly that Ye Cheng didn't know how to answer it.

But he was a little puzzled. If everyone was playing his own way, then why would Lu Yaoshan still commit violence against Meng Li?

Judging from yesterday, Meng Li was indeed very upset, but she covered her body tightly and couldn't see any wounds on her body.

Could it be that Jiang Yirong guessed wrong?

Lu Xiao saw his expression and thought he was just curious.

She explained: "My mother doesn't seem to care on the surface, but she actually doesn't care on the inside. Fortunately, my father only flies back once or twice, otherwise I would go crazy listening to him quarrel every day.

Lose."

Ye Cheng has never experienced his parents quarreling, but he can understand his mood.

He touched Lu Xiao's head and said, "Don't be sad."

"I'm not sad." Lu Xiao looked at him strangely, "Can you stop touching me like a dog every time?"

Ye Cheng retracted his hand unnaturally. He has been troubled by some habitual movements recently, and he always forgets that he is facing the seventeen-year-old him.

After Lu Xiao was stared at by him and finished a set of questions, he was rewarded with a piece of butterfly cake.

When Ye Cheng held the butterfly cake between two fingers and fed it to him, Lu Xiao felt that he was feeding a pet again.

But this time he endured it, probably because the butterfly cake was too much to eat.

Forget it, don’t argue with him.

Soon, it will be January in Nandu.

Along with the first snow in early winter comes the vigorous college entrance examination.

‌What do you mean by vigorous? It’s because the conditions during the exam were extremely chaotic.

The examination room of No. 13 Middle School is in the relatively remote No. 7 Middle School, so everyone needs to take the school bus there.

On the day of the check-in, the school bus forgot three people in No. 7 Middle School.

During the exam the next day, two more people did not bring their admission tickets, and one person lost his temporary ID card.

‌ Xu Chao had the foresight to think that he ‌‌ did not look like he had the ability to take care of himself when helping others.

So the night before the exam, I collected everyone’s admission tickets and ID cards.

On the day of the exam, he stood in the lobby on the first floor and handed them out one by one.

Every time a person is sent, he must shout: "Come on! I wish you immediate success!"

Other classes were not escorted by teachers, and Class 20 formed a unique landscape.

After everyone got their certificates, they surrounded Ye Cheng inside. Sihasha breathed in desperately, trying to bask in the glory of the examination.

Finally, one person touched him and went to the examination room each with satisfaction. The other classes were envious.

Lu Xiao and Jiang Jin were assigned to the same examination room. They were still fighting before entering.

"If you touch him again, I'll chop your hands off." Lu Xiao punched him in the head.

Just now, Jiang Jin accidentally touched Ye Cheng's waist, making him almost jump.

Jiang Jin was extremely aggrieved: "I'm not the only one who touched him! You have the ability to chop off his hands!"

Lu Xiao raised his fist: "Do you still have any fucking reason?"

"If you want to take the exam, go and touch him too!" Jiang Jin said a few words and was so scared that he rushed into the examination room.

…‌It seems very reasonable.

After Lu Xiao entered the examination room and sat down, he turned around the 2b pencil in boredom.

He was sitting next to the window, and light snow was falling outside, falling in fine pieces on the window sill.

It is close to the ‌ gate and ‌ is located in a remote area. The sound of fireworks and firecrackers can occasionally be heard outside the examination room.

Living in the seventeenth year of life, this winter is the most exciting for him.

After two days of exams and the end of the semester, the winter vacation will officially begin.

Ye Cheng said that he would stay at his house after the exam. If he got 3 A's in the exam, he could make any request he wanted.

And Meng Li will be leaving in a few days. He can stay alone with Ye Cheng for a few days, hehe.

As soon as he thought about this, Lu Xiao was full of expectations for this winter.

He hasn't spent much time in a family since he was a child. He always went to other people's homes with his nanny and aunt. Now he can finally experience the atmosphere of living there.

He laughed at the window, causing the invigilator to look at him like a monster.

"Students, please take a look at the sealing degree of the test paper bag..." the teacher said on the podium‌.

Lu Xiao withdrew his attention and placed the documents one by one.

The pens in the pencil case were all passed by Ye Cheng, and they were collected by him in every possible way.

There is an unwritten custom in Class 20, that is, if the pen of ‌‌ is tested by ‌, the ideal score will be obtained by ‌.

Lu Xiao is not a superstitious person, but he couldn't help but believe it once.

It wasn't until he got the paper and started answering the questions that he realized how crucial the training Ye Cheng usually gave him was.

The first is proficiency - his reaction speed when answering questions is nearly twice as fast as before.

There was still about half an hour left, and he had already finished writing.

Secondly, it was targeted. Ye Cheng gave him the tactics of casting a wide net.

In fact, this is not the case. Almost all the test points in his notes cover ‌.

After the exam, Jiang Jin almost went crazy.

He pulled Lu Xiao behind and tried to lower his excited voice: "Fuck! Brother Cheng is so awesome! I borrowed his notebook yesterday and wanted to rush for a sprint, but I actually hit two bets.

‌Question!”

"There is also the third to last question, which turned out to be a mock test!" Jiang Jin burst into tears, "Wow, Brother Cheng is my father, Brother Cheng is so awesome."

He was still immersed in the ecstasy of getting the right answer, but Lu Xiao looked straight ahead as if he was possessed.

Finally, Jiang Jin found that no one responded to him, and asked confusedly: "Brother Xiao, what are you doing?"

He saw Lu Xiao's expression and followed his gaze.

Wearing school uniforms is not allowed during the examination. Everyone wears their own clothes.

Ye Cheng wears a light-colored short sherpa jacket, revealing a black turtleneck sweater underneath.

He stood on the corridor covered with falling snow, looking more and more picturesque and so beautiful that it made people look at him.

The feeling is like a person walking in a landscape painting.

Ye Cheng originally planned to go to the next examination room to find Lu Xiao, but was stopped by Yu Kun midway to answer the question.

At this time, she was lowering her head to talk to him, her light brown eyes focused and serious.

Lu Xiao walked over quickly and squeezed in between them.

Ye Cheng's attention was immediately attracted to him: "You are here so soon. How did you do in the exam?"

"That's cool. Let's go eat. We'll starve to death." Lu Xiao turned him over, hooked his shoulders and walked towards the stairs.

Yu Kun stood there blankly, muttering to himself: "No, you're going to cut it off, I haven't even finished asking the questions."

Jiang Jin passed by him, sympathetic and sincere: "How about you ask me, I think I can get an A."

Yu Kun has never seen such a shameless person, "..."

‌ passed ‌ relatively early today, and the final exam is scheduled a few days after the ‌ general examination.

This winter vacation should be the busiest one, because he doesn’t have a few days of rest before going to winter camp.

Ye Cheng was packing clothes into a suitcase at home, and Gao Qiulan was also packing clothes.

The way the grandfather and grandson were packing their luggage together was a bit funny for no reason.

Gao Qiulan saw that he had brought a lot of money and was surprised: "You are only going for three days, why are you bringing so much?"

"After I went to Lu Xiao's house, I went directly to the winter camp." Ye Cheng sat on the suitcase and finally closed the lid, "I'm too lazy to come back and collect it again."

Gao Qiulan told him: "When you go to someone else's house, don't cause trouble to them. I put the bird's nests and other things on the table. Remember to bring them to Aunt Meng."

Ye Cheng nodded: "Don't worry, grandma. When will my dad pick you up?"

Gao Qiulan glanced at the clock: "He said he would be there at one o'clock, but it is almost three o'clock now, and there is no one around."

"Let me give him a call." Ye Cheng was afraid that she would worry, so he picked up the phone.

He had just dialed the number when the doorbell rang outside.

Gao Qiulan hurried over to open the door. The wind and snow were blowing in her face, and Ye Gaoyang's head and face were covered with snow.

"Mom, Xiaocheng." He said hello to the two of them as he walked in and took off his coat.

Ye Cheng called out "Dad" coldly, then turned around to do his own work.

"Why did you arrive so late? Is the plane delayed?" Gao Qiulan asked him.

Ye Gaoyang sighed, as if he was very tired: "No, Qiaoqiao suddenly developed a high fever, so I just changed my flight."

Ye Cheng kept the bird's nest away and put it into a bag.

Gao Qiulan glanced at his back and didn't hesitate to ask about Ye Qiaoqiao's condition. She comforted him: "Children are weak. It's normal to have colds and fevers in the winter."

Ye Gaoyang shook his head: "It's just a simple cold. She has been having nosebleeds for a while. She went to the hospital several times and nothing was wrong."

"What? Is it so serious?" Gao Qiulan said, "Then I might as well not go there, so as not to cause any trouble to you."

If Ye Gaoyang hadn't begged her hard, she wouldn't have wanted to go to Shengzhou, and now she was just looking for an excuse.

"No, Mom, I've come all the way to pick you up." Ye Gaoyang advised.

Ye Cheng turned around and said, "Grandma, you'd better go and see her."

He actually found it quite puzzling. In her previous life, Ye Qiaoqiao's body was as strong as an ox, and how could she become a medicine jar now?

"Xiao Cheng, why don't you go to Shengzhou with your father?" Ye Gaoyang took the opportunity to say.

Ye Cheng refused without hesitation: "I'll be there soon. My friends are waiting for me."

Ye Gaoyang looked at Gao Qiulan in confusion: "What kind of friend? Does Xiao Cheng want to get married too?"

Gao Qiulan knew that he didn't want to see Lu Xiao, so he hesitated and said nothing.

Ye Cheng pulled up her suitcase and walked past him gracefully.

"Bye, I wish you a good time." Then he slammed the door.

The snow was falling heavily outside, falling like goose feathers.

Ye Cheng left quickly and remembered that he had forgotten to take his umbrella when he walked out the door. However, he really didn't want to stay under the same roof as Ye Gaoyang, so he had no choice but to walk into the heavy snow.

He left in a hurry, putting all his hat and scarf in his suitcase.

The strong wind blew snowflakes on his cheeks, and the biting coldness made him shiver, as if he had been splashed with a basin of ice water from head to toe.

Damn it, Lu Xiao was here to pick him up, but he didn’t know where he was going.

Ye Cheng dragged his suitcase and walked into the community, only to see a tall figure standing outside the door with an umbrella.

As soon as Lu Xiao saw him, he immediately ran over.

"Holy shit, why don't you hold an umbrella?" He raised the umbrella over Ye Cheng's head as fast as he could, and the hot air from his breath condensed into mist.

"without……"

Before Ye Cheng could say the words "there's no time", a scarf was wrapped around his head and face.

The brown cashmere scarf firmly covered the tip of his nose, and the warmth hitting his face made him reflexively close his eyes, and his whole body relaxed.

The scarf has Lu Xiao's body temperature and a faint smell of orange blossom and sandalwood.

"You're looking for death, right? You forgot about the last time you got caught in the rain and had a fever?" Lu Xiao tied up the scarf fiercely, with a technique that rivaled Gao Qiulan's.

It was originally a very fashionable item, but it was surrounded by him like a country gentleman.

"Ahem." Ye Cheng was choked by him.

Lu Xiao immediately seized the opportunity to teach him a lesson: "Look, he's all coughing."

"You're not done yet," Ye Cheng pulled his hand away, unable to bear it anymore, "You said you were going to pick me up at the door. If it weren't for you, I would be frozen like this?"

Lu Xiao's voice suddenly became softer: "I saw your dad coming, so I found a place to hide."

Ye Cheng then remembered that there was a time bomb at home.

He didn't want Ye Gaoyang to find an opportunity to force himself, so he pushed Lu Xiao to leave as soon as possible.

The second time I came to Lu Xiao's house was much more natural than the first time.

Although he was only staying for three days, Meng Li still invited a Michelin-starred chef to come over and prepare dinner.

She changed from her sickly and lazy appearance when we met before. She wore her hair loosely in a bun and wore a burgundy dress. She looked very good.

"Try the beef sashimi, it's very delicious." Meng Li greeted Ye Cheng, "Xiaoxiao always dislikes me for not eating when I cook, so I just ask someone else to do it."

Ye Cheng smiled, and Lu Xiao said unhappily: "Can you call me by your first name?"

He always felt uncomfortable when being called "Xiaoxiao" in front of him.

Meng Li ignored him and continued: "Xiao Cheng, I'm really sorry. I'm going to California tomorrow. I originally wanted to entertain you."

"It's okay, auntie, I'm the one bothering you." Ye Cheng said gently.

Meng Li pursed her lips and smiled: "Aren't you going to call me mother-in-law again? The next day after you call me, I will quickly make a Thermage."

Ye Cheng knew that she had misunderstood, and his face turned red: "You... are not old, you are very young."

Meng Li said nonchalantly: "I'm over forty, how can I not grow old?"

When Mrs. Wang brought the plates to serve the food, she asked: "Are the quilts in the guest room ready? You can take Xiaoye over to have a look later. If you are not satisfied, change them to others."

"Get ready, madam." Sister-in-law Wang said.

Lu Xiao immediately put down his knife and fork: "Who said he wants to sleep in the guest room?"

Meng Li looked reproachful: "You two boys live in one room and you are not afraid of crowding in."

Ye Cheng also remembered that last time he complained about his inability to sleep with his wife, so he nodded,

"I'm also worried about disturbing Lu Xiao's rest. I'd like to thank Auntie for bothering me."

Lu Xiao was forced to laugh angrily at the two of them, and faced Ye Cheng: "I said you would disturb me? If you don't sleep with me, what should I do if I encounter problems that I don't understand?"

"I don't usually see you loving studying so much, but now you are in high spirits." Meng Li interrupted him, "It's late at night. You don't want to sleep, and Xiao Cheng has to rest."

Lu Xiao was so angry that she couldn't eat. She threw away the spoon and didn't want to drink the soup.

"Leave him alone, I'll eat mine." Meng Li said to Ye Cheng.

Lu Xiao frowned and looked at her, thinking why don't you go to California now.

He counted the stars and looked forward to the moon until today, when he would sleep with Ye Cheng.

Of course, this "sleeping" is just "sleeping". He even prepared movies on the projector and soda popcorn.

I also bought a bunch of night lights online, turned off the main light, and when the night lights were turned on, the atmosphere in the room was so romantic.

Even if you don't do anything, staying in the same room with Ye Cheng is enough to make people feel satisfied.

However, the plan that was prepared for half the winter came to nothing.

He stabbed the steak angrily with his fork and ate it with a ferocious expression.

After Ye Cheng returned to the room at night, he realized that Lu Xiao was unusually quiet.

I didn’t send him a WeChat message or call him.

‌Like really a little angry‌.

He lay on the bed in the guest room, tossing and turning, and finally couldn't sleep.

‌The boy is too childish‌. He will be so angry if he doesn't sleep in the same room.

After thinking for a long time, Ye Cheng decided to go find him.

He opened the door softly, and a few wall lamps were lit in the corridor. The house was very quiet.

The ‌ guest room is some distance away from Lu Xiao's room. There are so many rooms on the second floor of his house that it's as big as a maze.

Ye Cheng stood on tiptoe and tried to walk towards Lu Xiao's room as quietly as possible and based on his memory.

Just as he was passing by a room, he suddenly heard a scream coming from inside.

Because the surroundings were too quiet, the screams were particularly obvious, and were accompanied by the sound of smashing glass.

Ye Cheng was startled and immediately recognized Meng Li's voice.

He didn't have time to think too much and hurriedly knocked on the door: "Auntie, are you okay?"

"Why do you say that? You come when you ask me to come, and you leave when you ask me to leave? Why, why?!"

The shouts inside were even more heartbreaking, and there was a bang, as if something fell down.

Ye Cheng didn't care about anything else and immediately turned the door lock.

Unexpectedly, the bedroom door was unlocked, so he quickly unlocked it.

"Auntie, what happened..."

He was just about to step into the room, and before he finished speaking, a porcelain bottle landed right at his feet.

There was a loud crash, and pieces of porcelain exploded under his feet, shattering to pieces on the ground.

It was very warm inside, and Ye Cheng was only wearing a pair of sandals when she came.

The broken porcelain jumped onto the instep of his feet, scratching the fair skin and causing blood to seep out.

The scene in the bedroom was messy, and the strong smell of perfume penetrated into the nose, making people dizzy.

The bed curtains were torn off and fell to the floor, and broken perfume bottles and cosmetics were scattered around the bed.

Meng Li was wearing a nightgown, his eyes were red and bleeding, his hair was messy, he was talking on the phone, and he was breathing heavily.

Ye Cheng was worried that she would step on the glass, so he cautiously shouted: "Auntie?"

Meng Li didn't respond at all. The hand holding the phone slowly dropped, and the phone seemed to have been hung up.

Ye Cheng stood outside the door for a few seconds, and finally decided to go in and take a look.

As soon as he lifted his feet, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind him and grabbed him, violently pulling him away from the porcelain pieces.

"Be careful." Lu Xiao's deep voice sounded in his ears.
