MMB Chapter 43 Li Chao is going through puberty; it wouldn't be good if it affected his studies.
Chapter 43 Li Chao is going through puberty; it wouldn't be good if it affected his studies.
"It cost 2100 in total. I spent 1600 of it elsewhere, and after buying some things, I only have a few dozen yuan left. That 1600 is definitely not what you think..."
Li Chao explained his situation.
Qin Nuanyang asked, "So where did you spend the money?"
"It's not convenient to say now, but it was definitely spent where I needed it. I'll tell you when I have the chance."
Li Chao wasn't afraid to admit that he had someone take the exam for him and that it was almost impossible for him to return to his previous grades; his main concern was that others wouldn't be able to accept it.
He has experienced the highs and lows of life, and admitting his shortcomings is not particularly difficult.
Upon hearing Li Chao's confession, Qin Nuanyang said nothing more and continued walking upstairs.
As usual, I waited a few minutes after getting home before starting to eat.
After dinner, Qin Zhiguo sat down next to Li Chao and said, "Xiao Chao, I have something to tell you. Your Aunt Liu and I are going out for a few days of training tomorrow. By the time the training ends, it will be around National Day. We're going to see a friend for National Day, so we might not be home for the next five or six days. You and Nuanyang will have to take care of your own lunch and dinner. We'll talk about it when we get back."
As Qin Zhiguo spoke, he took out a sum of cash and handed it to Li Chao, saying, "Take this for living expenses."
Li Chao said, "Um... Uncle Qin, I still have some."
Qin Nuanyang, standing to the side: "..."
You have nothing! You used it all to buy fast food!
What a coincidence! I spent 1,600 yuan, which I can't tell anyone. 1,600 yuan is exactly two 800s.
Li Chao secretly went to eat fast food twice!
Qin Zhiguo stuffed the money into his hand. "Take it, take it. You can save some of what you don't spend. Don't deprive yourself too much during this time. Eat and drink as you please. Also, don't neglect your studies during the holiday. Your concentration will drop if you don't study for a long time."
Li Chao could only passively accept the money, and then said, "Uncle Qin, don't worry, I've adapted to the new learning pace now, and I feel that my efficiency is even higher than before."
"That's good. Anyway, you're a grown man, you know what's important and what's not. If you have any problems, contact us immediately. Even if we're not home, we can still help you in other ways."
"Okay, sure."
Qin Nuanyang, standing to the side, remained quiet, lost in thought.
My parents won't be home for the next few days...
……
Friday noon.
After school, Li Chao went to the cafeteria to get his food and then sat down to eat slowly.
Not long after, another plate was placed opposite him, and when he looked up slightly, a magnificent sight came into view.
Qin Nuanyang dressed very simply during class, usually wearing a T-shirt and jeans, and rarely wore long skirts or slightly flashy clothes.
After she sat down, she said, "Why are you so materialistic? You didn't come to my house for lunch and ran off so fast, I almost couldn't find you."
Li Chao: "If you come to the cafeteria and are slow, are you going to eat other people's leftovers? Besides, don't you never eat in the cafeteria?"
"I'm not the eldest sister anymore, it's such a waste of money to eat out."
"Oh, so you're quite concerned about your image."
"Of course I'm proud, who doesn't care about saving face? Oh, by the way, wait for me after school and dinner tonight, help me move some things to your place."
"Move what?"
"Bed sheets, slippers, clothes, blankets, and some of my everyday items."
"Huh? What are you going to do?"
"Of course I'll stay at your place. You have a room available anyway. My air conditioner is so noisy, and my house is cluttered with too much stuff. I don't want to stay there anymore."
Li Chao: "Did you tell Uncle Qin and Aunt Liu?"
"What's the point of talking to them? They're not even home! I'll move back when they get back." After saying this, Qin Nuanyang stared at Li Chao. "Are you not welcoming me?"
"Of course you're welcome. I'm just worried that if Uncle Qin and the others find out, it won't be good for you."
Li Chao was afraid of messing things up and something unexpected happening.
He couldn't withstand the test of evening self-study anymore. Now, evening self-study is full of various tests. Since the second mock exam is coming up soon, the tests on weekends are not so strict. Many times, they just hand out hairpins to do and don't collect them back to correct them.
Qin Nuanyang said confidently, "Don't worry, if we're found out, I'll take full responsibility and definitely won't cause you any trouble!"
"That's fine then."
Qin Nuanyang asked again, slightly uncertainly, "You really don't mind?"
"How about I make a vow?"
"No, no, you wouldn't dare disagree with me, Liang! I have a lot of dirt on you now. If I expose your secrets, you can forget about living outside anymore."
Li Chao: "..."
As expected of Qin Nuanyang, he thought he had grasped the whole summer just because he held a cicada in his hand.
"Yes, yes, yes, you have my biggest secret. How could I dare? I'll help you move your things tonight. Which room do you want to sleep in? If you like the one I'm staying in, I'll make room for you when I get back."
"No need, no need, the empty one next door is fine. And you're not allowed to tattle!"
Qin Nuanyang was thinking about this yesterday. Since her parents weren't home, it didn't matter where she slept.
Of course, her main purpose was not because the air conditioner was too noisy. Her main purpose was to keep an eye on Li Chao while her parents were not at home, so that he would not slack off in his studies and also to prevent him from going astray.
Yes, that's exactly what I think.
This guy is a bad influence; he's always thinking about stock trading and causing trouble.
If no one is watching over it, who can feel at ease?
He might have deliberately moved out and skipped evening self-study so that he could go out and cause trouble.
As long as I'm there, this kind of thing will absolutely never happen!
If Li Chao dares to eat fast food near the train station again and I find out, I'll break his legs!
So, after Li Chao did not refuse, Qin Nuanyang spent the whole afternoon thinking about what she should bring.
"Should we bring what we're currently using on our bed?"
"What if my parents suddenly come back and I don't have time to move my things back?"
"There are some old bed sheets and stuff in the closet. Should we use some old ones to make a set? Anyway, we have so much stuff in the house, even if Mom and Dad suddenly come back, they probably won't look for those things..."
"Clothes...should we bring a couple of nice outfits...?"
"No, no, we're not bringing him. Li Chao is going through puberty, and it wouldn't be good if it affected his studies. That's the most important thing."
"The uglier the clothes, the better. Wear a tank top, baggy shorts, and flip-flops. Even the most restless teenager would be suppressed, right?"
