Going home for the New Year during the winter break, I encountered a cool school girl on the high-sp

Chapter 154: Did you beat me up with my consent? (Please vote~)

Lin Muxi's eyes were filled with cheerful smiles, and he was obviously in a very happy mood.

Seeing her smile happily, Chen Chen's curiosity was aroused again.

He approached her gently and asked with a hint of playfulness in his tone, "What on earth did you draw that made you smile so happily?"

Lin Muxi was obviously in a good mood. She replied playfully, "I won't tell you."

"Did you draw me?" Chen Chen asked half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Lin Muxi pretended to be mysterious, blinked and said, "Yes and no."

Chen Chen frowned slightly, looking even more puzzled: "What does this mean?"

"Guess it yourself." Lin Muxi smiled mischievously.

Seeing this, Chen Chen pretended to be angry and grabbed her collar, and said in a serious tone, "Are you going to tell me or not?"

Lin Muxi was amused by Chen Chen's sudden "seriousness" and laughed.

She gently put her arms around Chen Chen's neck, her eyes flashing with playfulness. After smiling sweetly at him, she suddenly turned around and shouted towards the first floor:
"Auntie, the senior bullied me!"

Chen Chen: “…???!!!”

The next second, Liu Xiuying appeared in front of him with an iron spoon, staring at him quietly.

This scene was very familiar to Chen Chen.

When he was a child, every time he came back from trouble, Ms. Liu would appear in front of him like this.

He couldn't help but feel his heart tighten and he jumped back subconsciously.

“Oh my god, when did you unlock this feature?”

These days, Lin Muxi seems to be getting better and better at controlling him.

Now everyone has learned how to complain.

This is clearly a trick that only Chen Yuanyuan plays.

Or did Chen Yuanyuan secretly teach her bad things without his knowledge?
Lin Muxi continued to exaggerate: "Auntie, the senior just bullied me~"

Where Chen Chen couldn't see, he smiled slyly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiuying silently raised the iron spoon in her hand.

Chen Chen hurriedly defended himself: "Mom, Mom, Mom, please listen to my explanation. I really didn't bully her. I was just curious about what she drew just now!"

Liu Xiuying said calmly, "Since Xiaoxi doesn't want to tell you, don't ask any more questions."

Chen Chen was extremely helpless and couldn't help but protest: "Mom, whose mother are you?"

Liu Xiuying smiled softly and said faintly, "I think you are itching for trouble. You can't even recognize who your biological mother is."

As she spoke, she held the spatula in one hand and grabbed Chen Chen's clothes with the other, then gently patted him on the back a few times, "Do you recognize me now?"

Seeing that Chen Chenzhen was beaten, Lin Muxi felt a little distressed and quickly dissuaded him, "Auntie, please be gentle."

Liu Xiuying smiled and responded, "This kid has thick skin and can take a beating. I'm telling you, if he dares to bully you again, just beat him back. You don't need my permission."

Chen Chen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Don't you need my consent to beat me up?"

刘秀英故作严肃地说道：“还想挨揍是吧？”话语间，那份母爱与宠溺却溢于言表。“快去端菜。”

Chen Chen responded helplessly and slipped into the kitchen as quickly as he could.

Liu Xiuying looked at Lin Muxi and smiled, "Xiaoxi, go get the dishes and chopsticks."

"it is good."

Lin Muxi walked side by side with her into the kitchen.

During the meal, Chen Chen said, "We bought high-speed rail tickets for the twelfth day of the lunar year."

Liu Xiuying, who was busy putting vegetables into the bowl, paused and the vegetables slipped from the tip of the chopsticks and gently bounced back into the plate.

She paused for a moment, then picked up the piece of greens again, a look of reluctance and surprise in her eyes:

"Is school starting so soon? Can't we wait until after the Lantern Festival?"

Chen Chen shook his head slightly and explained, "I'm afraid it will be too late after the Lantern Festival."

Liu Xiuying said silently:

"Then ask your dad to take you to the high-speed rail station."

Chen Chen said:
"If Dad isn't available, we can also call Didi. Traveling is quite convenient nowadays."

Chen Jianwen silently took a mouthful of rice and said:
"I'm free, I'm free, I'm definitely free..."

Although the family's words were full of warmth and care, the atmosphere seemed inexplicably depressing and dull, as if everyone had an unspeakable reluctance in their hearts.

After dinner, Chen Chen and Lin Muxi did not rush upstairs, but sat in the yard with Chen Jianwen to drink tea.

"I received a lot of red envelopes when I started work this year."

There was a hint of pride and joy in Chen Jianwen's words.

Every year, Chen Jianwen is happiest when work starts.

Because on this day, he was finally no longer the person who only gave out red envelopes, but was able to receive blessings and red envelopes from all parties. No matter how big or small the amount was, he was satisfied.

"How much did you collect? Take it out and let us see."

Chen Jianwen immediately looked at Chen Chen warily: "What do you want to do? Don't try to take my red envelope."

"I just want to take a look and I'll return it to you after I'm done." Chen Chen smiled harmlessly, as if he was really just out of curiosity.

After hearing this, Chen Jianwen's mouth twitched slightly, and he muttered to himself:
Why did this sound so familiar? Wasn't this the classic line he'd used to trick Xiaochen and Yuanyuan into handing over their red envelopes?

"I remember when I was a child, you often said to me, 'Dad will keep your red envelopes first, and I will return them to you when you grow up.' What happened?" Chen Chen deliberately prolonged his tone.

Chen Jianwen: “…”

I miscalculated. If I had known this, I wouldn’t have mentioned the red envelope.

He stood up slowly, without saying anything, turned around and walked into the house silently.

"Why are you leaving so soon?" Chen Chen looked at his back, teased softly, then lowered his head and continued to sip his tea.

The weather has been up and down recently.

The sun was shining brightly and the temperature dropped sharply during these two days, as if spring had arrived early. However, after a few days, the north wind started to blow again and the temperature dropped sharply, as if winter had returned overnight.

Not long after, Chen Jianwen returned with a box in his hand.

He gently placed the box on the tea table and slowly opened it. He saw that it was filled with all kinds of red envelopes, big, small, thick, thin, and a dazzling array.

Seeing this, Chen Chen's eyes flashed with surprise, and he didn't quite understand his father's intention.

"Dad, this is..." There was a hint of confusion in his words.

"Some of these are the lucky money you received during the Chinese New Year when you were a child, and some are specially prepared by your mother and I to encourage your academic progress.
Some are the blessings and expectations of your family and friends from important moments in your life. I haven't opened any of them yet; I've saved them all for you."

If he was surprised when he saw the pile of red envelopes just now, then now, Chen Chen was completely shocked.

"It's really saved." He exclaimed in disbelief.

"Of course. I was planning to give it to you when you graduated from college, but since you mentioned it today, I'll give it to you in advance.

As for Yuanyuan, don't tell her yet. Wait until she graduates and then give her a surprise."
