Zhang Xiaoshan was panicking inside.
But his ntality was much steadier than Li Ya, who was still in school.
"Oh, I was just taking a nap. I didn’t sleep well last night, so I was really tired."
"I see."
Li Ya didn’t notice anything off about Zhang Xiaoshan’s expression, but she was still a bit concerned and started looking around the room.
"Little Shan, do you have any clothes that you need to wash for you?"
She made an excuse to search around the room.
She even checked under the bed.
But she didn’t find anything.
Zhang Xiaoshan knew what Li Ya was up to, but he didn’t call her out on it; he went along with her play.
"No need, I brought dirty clothes back ho, and my sister-in-law washed them for ."
"Got it. From now on, leave your dirty clothes for , okay? I’ll co back every weekend to wash them for you."
"You’re in your senior year this term, aren’t you? You should be focused on your studies."
"Right, how have your recent grades been?"
When the subject of grades ca up, Li Ya imdiately beca excited and boastfully said to Zhang Xiaoshan,
"Heehee, I did really well on the recent class placent test. I ranked ninth in the grade and got into the experintal class. Maybe I’ll have a chance to get into Qingbei."
"Oh?"
Zhang Xiaoshan was also interested upon hearing this.
"Your grades have always been average, how did you improve so much all of a sudden?"
"Because, because..."
Li Ya’s cheeks flushed red as she couldn’t look Zhang Xiaoshan in the eye, and she hung her head low.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoshan put on a stern face and scared Li Ya.
"Little Ya, you didn’t cheat, did you? That’s really not okay."
"No, no..."
Li Ya imdiately raised her head, her gaze steady and serious as she assured Zhang Xiaoshan,
"Little Ya didn’t cheat. It’s because, it’s because... Because Big Brother Shan promised that if I got into a good university, then, then you’d be with ."
As she spoke, Li Ya’s cheeks turned as red as apples.
The power of love drives progress.
Now, Zhang Xiaoshan felt awkward.
"Ah, Auntie Xiang i’s ribs are really delicious. I need to eat more."
He changed the topic.
And he started eating his al quietly, lowering his head.
Not only had Li Ya inherited Widow Su’s excellent genes, but she had also inherited Widow Su’s stubborn nature.
Once she set her mind on sothing, she was determined to achieve it.
Especially since Li Ya was in her adolescence, she was countless tis more troubleso than Widow Su.
It was better for Zhang Xiaoshan not to provoke Li Ya too much.
Zhang Xiaoshan ate two big bowls of ribs, almost bursting his stomach.
Yet, he still pretended to be unsatisfied and said to Li Ya,
"So delicious. Next ti you have sothing tasty, bring it to again."
"Sure, sure!" Li Ya nodded excitedly.
"Good, now you better hurry back, your mom will be worried if she can’t find you."
At that mont, Li Ya also got a bit flustered.
She had co sneakily and needed to head back early. It would be troubleso if her mom found out she’d co to see Zhang Xiaoshan.
"By the way, Big Brother Shan, I’m asking you sothing, and you need to answer honestly. Has my mom been bothering you lately, asking you to, you know, to do that with her?"
Li Ya asked while she collected the dishes and chopsticks.
Zhang Xiaoshan really wanted to embrace Li Ya and complain about how Widow Su had been pressuring him.
But that was just a thought. If Li Ya knew about these things, it would cause a lot of trouble.
If Li Ya did sothing foolish, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
"No, after the last ti your mom ca to see , I made things very clear to her, and she hasn’t co by since."
"Really?"
Li Ya seed doubtful.
Zhang Xiaoshan assured her earnestly,
"You are my dear little sister; would I lie to you? You should know that in White Dragon Village, the little girl I like most is you, Little Ya."
Upon hearing this, a joyful smile imdiately spread across Little Ya’s face.
"That’s good. But, Big Brother Shan, you’re mistaken. I’m not just so little girl; next year I’ll be of age, an adult."
"I know, Big Brother Shan, that at this age... you need that sort of thing..."
"Just be patient a little longer. Once Little Ya gets into university, you can rent a house next to our school, and then we can be shaless, every day, always, always... like that..."
As she spoke, Li Ya beca bashful and lowered her head again.
Her naive face, proud figure, unrestrained words, and timid deanor.
How many n could resist such a Li Ya?
This is really troubling!
Zhang Xiaoshan felt his blood beginning to boil.
He was truly afraid that he might lose control and offend Li Ya.
He hastily said to Li Ya,
"Where did you learn all this nonsense? Focus on your studies, don’t have such wild thoughts. After you get into university, we will talk about it. Go back ho now."
"Okay then."
Li Ya had finished packing up the dishes and was about to leave with the food container.
Just as she reached the door, she suddenly paused.
"Big Brother Shan, co here; I have a secret to tell you."
Zhang Xiaoshan walked to the door, puzzled.
"What do you want to tell ?"
"Big Brother Shan, close your eyes."
"Why all the mystery?"
"Is soone at school bullying you? Tell Big Brother, and I’ll take care of it for you."
While muttering to himself, Zhang Xiaoshan closed his eyes.
"Whoosh."
Li Ya looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with his eyes closed, her expression tense. She took a deep breath, clenched her fists to give herself courage, then tiptoed, pouted her lips, and moved closer to Zhang Xiaoshan.
