The two cuddled this way like a two loving son and parent . Being single parent is really hard . Lu Meifeng was so tired that she fell asleep without hearing that her beloved youngest baby got sick .
The sensible eldest child didn't gave another stress to his mom and just covered her with a thin quilt before putting the spoon on the sink and started washing dishes .
After washing dishes , he immediately cooked three cups of rice and washed the vegetables . He started slicing the vegetables and heated the pan .
Because of limited money , they could only eat one variety of dish . Looking at their cheap second hand refrigerator with a difficult face . Shao Boya is having a difficulty choosing ingredients while still thinking of budgeting .
Shao Boya could only cook vegetable stir-fry . By the time Shao Boya finished , Lu Meifeng woke up from her temporary rest and teared up seeing her son making food for them .
Lu Meifeng squeezed Shao Boya's cheeks again and gave him a peck again and again .
" Mom , I'm not Shao Yu . Don't kiss me like that . "
" But you're still my baby boy, no? "
Shao Boya rolled his eyes with flushed face .
" Why are you being a tsundere hah? You're enjoying it right? Hehe . " Lu Meifeng kissed Shao Boya on the cheek again with a smacking sound .
Shao Boya gently pushed Lu Meifeng then lifted a small trey containing four bowls . " Mom , I'll be going up to feed Shao Yu . Shao Yu's currently sick . I have to feed her . "
Hearing him , Lu Meifeng immediately got worried . " She's sick? Why didn't you tell me so . Give me that , I'll feed her myself . "
Shao Boya shook his head . " I'm already grown up mom , replenish your energy , i know you're tired . "
Lu Meifeng started shedding tears again and watched her sensible son climbing upstairs . She silently clenched her fist and closed her eyes .
- lord , thank your for giving me such a sensible son . I couldn't be anymore grateful to you despite giving me a hard life in my teens . -
Maybe this is her reward for enduring a lot of hardships . To a acquire such outstanding , sensible child . Even if he's stupid , if my child is this so sensible . I wouldn't mind .
Lu Meifeng sat down on the chair and stared at the good looking dish . " How did Shao Boya do this kind of plating? It can even contend with the 5 star chefs i have once saw before . "
" My son's really the best . "
Lu Meifeng lifted up her chopsticks and clamp up a vegetable before eating it. " Oooh!! Son! Such good dish . He really got my cooking skills hah , but on another level . "
It's been along time since Lu Meifeng had a dish cooked by other people . It really feels different if someone else cooked for you . You would feel that someone cares for you .
Shao Boya entered the room and put down the tray to the side . A weak groan quietly resonated and called out . " Brother , my throat hurts. "
Shao Boya helped her to sat up and wiled the little girl's tears . " Brother is here . "
Shao Yu straightened her chapped lips and teared up . " Brother , you're the best . "
Shao Boya chuckled . " I know . "
Shao Boya carefully put the trey on his lap and gently said to Shao Yu . " It's already dark , we'll take another dose of medicine after eating ok? "
Shao Yu nodded then opened her mouth as Shao Boya feeds her .
" Fish soup? "
Shao Boya nodded .
Shao Yu smiled . " It's delicious . "
Shao Boya paused then continued before forking a small piece of fish . " Brother cooked it especially for you . "
Shao Yu smiled brightly then opened her mouth to eat the food again .
" Brother "
" Hmmm? "
" When i grow up . I want to marry you . "
Shao Boya chuckled then flicked her forehead. " Silly , your brother would marry someone else. You can't marry your brother. "
Shao Yu pouted . " But you're the best man in the whole world . No man beats you . "
- i am still a boy . - Shao Boya inwardly thought .
" Naturally , I'm the best man in the whole world . So you can only marry the second best man in the whole world . "
" I want to marry the best man . "
" Then , brother could only be the second . There's no way brother would marry you . "
Shao Yu bit the spoon in anger , not letting it out of her mouth . Shao Boya was unperturbed and slowly pinched Shao Yu's jaw before pulling the spoon out . " Behave "
Shao Yu behaved but still remained talkative . " Brother , why are you so amazing? "
" Because , I'm cool " Shao Boya nonchalantly answered and fed her the vegetable stir-fry this time .
Shao Yu thought the dishes made by her brother are so delicious.
" Then , can i be as cool as you? "
"Yes " he answered .
" How "
" I don't know "
" Brother , fish "
Shao Yu likes fish , just like her name , Yu .
Shao Yu then cried . " Brother! I forgot to feed the hen . "
Shao Boya flicked her forehead gently . " I already did it . "
Shao Yu immediately stopped . " Really? "
" Hmmm "
" Brother , you're the best . "
" I know "
" I want to marry you . "
" No "
" But you're the best man . "
This way , Shao Boya accompanied her silly sister until she gets tired . Shao Boya tucked her inside the quilt and whispered good night to the sleeping child before going back downstairs to eat and wash the plates.
Lu Meifeng was counting her hard earned money while watching her son with a warm smile .
---
Shao Boya decided to stroll outside to digest the food properly .
In their village , they rarely has streetlights that's why people don't often go out late at night in fear of getting kidnapped .
Darkness makes people to stop working and take a rest . The world is balanced , there are daytime and nighttime .
Shao Boya likes darkness and silence . This way , he could think more clearly . However , for a growing child like him . He can easily fall asleep .
While strolling , Shao Boya caught a sight of a small child sitting on the side road using the light from the streetlight while making his homework .
He recognized this boy .
He's Lin GenXin , the second top student in their class . No wonder he's the second top student , he's (LGX) as hardworking as him (SBY) .
Lin GenXin noticed someone else's presence and lift up his head . He met a pair of attractive eyes . Lin GenXin blushed and flusteredly stood up .
" S-shao Boya "
Shao Boya nodded . " You're still making your homework untill now? Why aren't you making it inside your house . "
Lin GenXin scratched the back of his cheeks awkwardly . " Well , my stepsisters and brother often disturbed me . So i decided to go out and make it here . "
Shao Boya stared at him . " This place is a good choice . But the streetlight isn't enough to illuminate you . Your eyesight would turn bad if you continued . "
Idol is concerned!!!
Shao Boya stepped forward and sat on the ground . Lin GenXin also sat down with flushed cheeks .
" Let me help you . "
Lin GenXin's eyes widened and looked in surprise at Shao Boya . " R-really? "
" Hmmm "
- oh my goodness! Hahahaha , idol is helping me . I'm falling inlove . -
Shao Boya leaned forward and looked at his paper , before sneering faintly . " You have crooked penmanship just like my sister . "
Lim GenXin blushed in shame . " Sorry "
" You don't need to be sorry , you're still young . Practice makes you improve your writing . Just practice and your writing will eventually turn for the better . "
" You can also immitate someone's penmanship , there's nothing wrong with it . "
Lin GenXin nodded .
Shao Boya then looked at his homework and thought it was too easy . " If a child pushes a ball forward , what will happen to the ball? A : Move backwards , B: stay unmoved , C: Move forward . "
" That's too easy . "
Lin GenXin then scratched the back of his head then carefully asked . " What's the difference between push and pull? "
- oh , no wonder he got stuck in this question . People often confused the pull from push . -
" Push , just remember that when you hit your palm on someone's back forward ,It's a push . Pull , it's when you exert a force to pull it to the direction of yourself . Push , forward , Pull , backward . "
" Sir Qi told us to write an example of pushing and pulling . " Shao Boya then took a hold of Lin GenXin's hand and put back the pencil to him .
" You should probably know what to do already . "
Lin GenXin immediately nodded and started writing with flushed cheeks .
- Shao Boya just touched my hands . Aaah he is so warm . -
A few munites later , someone suddenly called out Lin GenXin with a rude tone . " Lin GenXin!! Come back ! "
Lin GenXin frowned . " It's that witch again . " He muttered angrily then slowly closed his finished homework before shyly looking at Shao Boya . " See you tomorrow . "
" See you tomorrow . " Shao Boya nodded .
Lin GenXin really wants to get a hug but he stopped himself in the end and ran back to his house .
Cui Manyan watching in the dark ponderedly touched his chin .
- the villain surprisingly has good charms . -
- but what made them fight when they grew up? -
- is it because of the female lead? -
- base on Lin GenXin's admiration for the villain when they were still a child . It's impossible for him to suddenly fight the villain when they grow up . -
- did Lin GenXin get turned off? -
- as far as i know , Shao Xiaolin isn't supposed to die . But why did he die? Is it because of the butterfly effect? -
- something's wrong ... The villain isn't supposed to be this smart . -
- in the story , it is narrated that the villain and mc possessed nearly equal talents and brains . -
- the villain was supposed to get a scar on his face after that certain incident causing his grades to drop down because of his recuperation. What happened?!!! -
Cui Manyan clutched his head in confusion .
Something's wrong ... The villain right now must not be the real villain .
Someone else's soul must have been stuffed inside .
Shao Boya looked behind him silently .
- someone's watching them from afar . -
