Adored by Him: My Blissful Days as the Girl Next Door Chapter 51: Really Want to Grow Up

Zhao ii thought for a mont, then nodded and answered, "It’s just like that, I usually play with others too."

Shi Yang: "Do you still go to his house often?"

Zhao ii: "No, there’s just a Dodo at his house. Sotis when I miss it, I’ll go visit, but usually Xu Xu cos to my house to play."

Shi Yang laughed: "He always goes to your house to play, and you say your relationship isn’t the best? Not telling the truth?"

Zhao ii shrugged: "It’s the truth, it’s not who invites him, it’s my mom who often tells to invite him over. My mom says Xu Xu’s family isn’t well off, so every ti she makes so special food to entertain him."

Shi Yang sighed: "Your mom has always been so kind."

Zhao ii nodded in agreent this ti.

Shi Yang held a small file from the nail clippers and carefully filed the rough edges of Zhao ii’s toenails. Zhao ii blinked and sat up, asking Shi Yang, "Bro, is the class representative in your class close to you?"

Shi Yang was taken aback, looking up at Zhao ii: "How did you know she’s the class representative?"

Zhao ii: "Your classmates called her that, I heard it."

"Oh." Shi Yang responded and continued helping Zhao ii tidy her feet.

Zhao ii squinted and asked, "Bro, does the class representative like you?"

Shi Yang’s expression disappeared, staring at Zhao ii: "Who told you that?"

Zhao ii smiled mischievously: "I went to find you, and as soon as I said I was your sister, she was so enthusiastic towards , and your classmates even made a fuss."

Shi Yang beca serious, saying sternly, "That’s not true! Don’t talk nonsense!"

Zhao ii: "You’re the one not telling the truth; dare you say she doesn’t like you!"

Shi Yang coughed lightly to cover his emotions, letting go of Zhao ii’s foot: "Little brat! How old are you, thinking about such nonsense all day!"

Zhao ii pouted: "Who’s a little brat? Sister Jing used to pursue you; her attitude towards was just like your class representative’s."

Shi Yang t Zhao ii’s earnest gaze, sighed, and explained: "Whether others like or not is none of my business, but I don’t like them. Right now, I just want to study hard and get into college, and I won’t think about anything else, nor do I have the ti."

Shi Yang is tall and thin, cool and handso, and currently at the age where desires secretly stir and there’s a longing for love. To say that there aren’t groups of girls around him who like and pursue him is impossible. Everyone admires beautiful girls and wants to get close to the opposite sex, except Shi Yang, who remains unmoved and inactive. Unless he’s abnormal, saying he doesn’t feel anything at all is pure nonsense; it’s impossible.

In fact, Shi Yang had two serious girlfriends before, holding hands and hugging waists with them, but he wasn’t really interested in either.

He had his first girlfriend back in junior high school.

When others dated, they would walk their girlfriends ho at night, pick them up for school in the morning, and even have lunch together at noon, always being a bit closer than others.

During junior high, Shi Yang was always busy around Zhao ii, taking care of her like a father to a daughter from morning till night. The girlfriend endured it once or twice, but over ti, even the warst heart can’t stand being neglected like that. The girlfriend lost her temper and broke up with Shi Yang.

Shi Yang thought about it and realized he indeed couldn’t manage it all. Mostly because Zhao ii had just started elentary school at that ti and was quite mischievous, so he agreed to the breakup easily.

The girlfriend cried bitterly behind his back, and ever since then, whenever she saw Shi Yang, she would definitely show a face of being hurt but smiling through it, giving Shi Yang a resentful look with small eyes.

The second was when he just started high school; they broke up in a few days after he got into a fight and ended up in the hospital. Once he was discharged, his dad arranged for him to stay with a teacher to catch up with his studies he missed during that month.

Living under the watchful eye of a teacher, there’s no chance to date or anything. Plus, catching up on a month’s worth of classes was indeed challenging, leaving no energy for anything else.

Now that he’s caught up with his grades, the college entrance exams are coming soon, so there’s even less ti to think about these matters.

Shi Yang affectionately tapped Zhao ii’s nose: "Stop trying to dig into these things."

Zhao ii giggled, confessing honestly: "I’m just worried you’ll really find a sister-in-law, and then you won’t be good to anymore."

Shi Yang laughed, pinching his thumb and forefinger together: "Zhao ii, your heart is only as big as a needle’s eye. Just rest easy and put your little heart back in your belly. I won’t beco close with anyone else and won’t stop being good to you."

Zhao ii skillfully hugged Shi Yang’s neck, pressing her leg against his stomach, pulling him in, and kissed his face with a smack: "Brother Yangyang, you’re the best."

Seeing her giddy little expression, Shi Yang ruffled her hair: "Go, change clothes, get ready for bed."

At night, Zhao ii, wearing a tank top and shorts, squeezed into the sa bed as Shi Yang. Knowing Zhao ii tosses around in her sleep, Shi Yang let her sleep on the inside, and to prevent her from getting cold against the wall, he folded a thin quilt and placed it against the wall. Originally, there was only room for one on the single bed, but with the extra quilt, there was almost no space left between them when lying side by side with Zhao ii.

Shi Yang teased Zhao ii: "Once you fall asleep, don’t you dare wet my bed, I only have this one thick quilt."

Zhao ii kicked her legs on the bed a couple of tis, then turned her head and nestled in Shi Yang’s arms, acting spoiled: "I stopped wetting the bed a long ti ago. What you’re talking about happened when I was little; now I’ve grown up."

Shi Yang smiled: "Grown up in fourth grade?"

Zhao ii counted on her fingers for Shi Yang: "It’s the second half of fourth grade. After the sumr break and the new sester starts, I’ll be in fifth grade, and in a year, I’ll graduate from elentary school and go to junior high. Maybe I can join your old class by then."

Zhao ii has always looked forward to growing up quickly.

The elentary and junior high schools were in the sa area, aning that the students from the primary and junior high departnts saw each other all the ti.

When the primary students like Zhao ii looked at the junior high students, it was always with admiration and envy towards the older kids.

Zhao ii also wants others to look at her like that. She has always rembered how she felt sitting in Shi Yang’s junior high class, everything in junior high seed better than in elentary school.

Shi Yang, cuddling Zhao ii, nudged the top of her head with his chin, just like he used to do when cycling with her: "By the ti you’re in junior high, I’ll be in college."

Zhao ii squird out of his embrace, glancing up, only seeing his chin, then quickly swam up like an eel to lay next to him on the pillow, eye to eye, asking: "Brother Yangyang, when you go to college, can I still see you?"

In Zhao ii’s mind, college is a very far place; she doesn’t know exactly how far, but she knows that the university students in their community, after their graduation banquets followed by her dad, are rarely seen again.

Shi Yang laughed: "Even if I go to another city for college, I’ll still co back during the winter and sumr holidays."

Zhao ii is starting to develop her looks; her eyebrows and eyes are lengthening, her forrly flat nose is taking shape – quite petite and cute now.

Zhao ii twitched the long tails of her eyes uncertainly and asked: "Will you really co back then?"

Shi Yang nodded: "When the school holidays co, if I don’t co ho, I have nowhere to stay."

Zhao ii breathed a sigh of relief and snuggled back into Shi Yang’s embrace: "Then I’m relieved."

The heating in this street house isn’t as good as in the small apartnts. It’s adequately warm during the day, but the temperature noticeably drops at night.

Shi Yang was wearing a tank top and loose shorts. Now that he had grown up, his chest was broader than during his childhood. Lying in his arms, Zhao ii felt warm and comfortable, and soon her eyelids grew heavy.

Shi Yang wrapped the quilt around them both and pulled Zhao ii into his arms, comfortably closing his eyes.
